	9:03pm asheville jon: Good evening EFD and everyone! Looking forward to the show tonight
	9:04pm John from Florham park: @phillippe and Asheville Jon howdy
	♥ 9:07pm listener 126464: Cheers everybody
	9:08pm tak: woooooow i love this song so much
	9:11pm JakeGould: Now that was some sax!
	9:12pm tak: come watch parkinsons live some day efd. incredible gigs, each of them
	♥ 9:13pm efd: when I was looking up the year for that Parkinsons song I saw that there's a documentary about them...??? is that right?
	♥ 9:13pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey JFFP, hope all is well with ya
	9:14pm JakeGould: Sounds a bit Joe Jackson-y…
	9:15pm CC: Get 'it'...E.F.D!!!
	9:16pm tak: long way to nowhere yeah. worth watching it, if only just to get an idea. always 100% delivery all the time, always loving
	9:16pm Chuck: Yep!!!
	9:17pm John from Florham park: @Phillippe can’t complain nobody would listen:) @Jakegould I apologize for last night I was out of line
	9:21pm Jeremy: Wow!!! we hardly ever get to hear Atomic Rooster!!
	♥ 9:21pm listener 126464: rooster attack!
	9:21pm Dave in SoDak: The guitar tone and riffs in general of Stan Bush reminded me of the Producers. The band, not the Broadway sensation... The Producers. What ever happened to those guys? I mean, "She Shelia" and "What's He Got" were staples in high school - both with drama jocks, band nerds, football and basketball homecoming king nominees - It was sort of a universal cool thing - along with the cheerleaders practicing routines for the GoGos - this was 1982. Good memories.
	♥ 9:23pm Figgsrock: Damn EFD, you're getting serious (with the 1987 AOR deep cut)!
	9:24pm Irving: I knew a girl named Jane once!!!
	9:28pm Dave in SoDak: john astley sounds nothing like rick astley, but jon astley does sound like the vocal in the song in "better off dead" where jon cusack pulls out a sax in the crappy fast food joint. another great memory - that movie, anyway.
	9:28pm CC: After all...you are a star!!!
	♥ 9:30pm Figgsrock: Jon and Rick are not related. But, at one point, Jon was brother-in-law of Pete Townshend. (He handled much of the remastering of The Who catalog.)
	9:31pm javakid: one other Jon Astley note - that's Slowhand on the guitar solo.
	9:32pm Chuck: In Hearing Of... Atomic Rooster... that's the studio album!!!
	♥ 9:34pm Figgsrock: Oh man, that Y&T reference made me think of that April Fool's show from a few years ago.
	♥ 9:36pm efd: that was a fun show!
	♥ 9:37pm Figgsrock: I have looked at the calendar for next April, and guess what day of the week April 1st falls on in 2020....
	♥ 9:38pm efd: wait, seriously?? That seems too soon!
	♥ 9:39pm listener 126464: this a #1 hit
	♥ 9:40pm Figgsrock: I know! I guess the extra days in 2016 and 2020 are the reason it's around again.
	♥ 9:40pm Figgsrock: Also, this Exbats song is excellent.
	♥ 9:40pm efd: @126464 I agree!
	9:40pm Dave in SoDak: backy-back back!
	♥ 9:41pm Phillippe Bastille: Ok, really weird Google results. When I Googled "astley", I got pages and pages of Rick Astley hits, other various Astleys like a vineyard and apartment building, but NO Jon Astleys.
	♥ 9:42pm Figgsrock: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:47pm javakid: have a Virginia Astley album in my collection (Jon's sister) - in the same world as the Lilac Time and Dream Academy - quite nice.
	♥ 9:49pm Figgsrock: Ah, Stag 2019!
	9:50pm tak: yeyeyeye
	9:50pm JakeGould: Fake ID!!! Woo!
	9:50pm steveL: Shoulda been a hit.
	9:51pm CC: What's a boy to do!!!
	9:55pm Joyride: For a moment the world was better place...Thinking Rick and Jon Ashley were related was great...It was like like radio yesteryear...assumptions are far more interesting than the boring internet...Love your comments ...I've become a huge fan of yours because of Rick Astley...never gonna give you up
	9:57pm Dave in SoDak: Never gonna let you down.
	♥ 9:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Never gonna figure it out...
	♥ 9:58pm efd: I guess I kind of Jon-rolled you with that suggestion that they were related.
	10:05pm Jeremy: I suppose that we are all confronted by the reality of our own mortality!?!
	10:09pm bob_ham: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh hello.
	♥ 10:10pm efd: oh HELLLLLOOOOOOOOO, Bob! Thank you for joining us!
	♥ 10:13pm spacecowboy: man i should be asleep but i need some music
	♥ 10:14pm spacecowboy: funny you should play afterlife - someone drowned t the beach i was at on labor day
	10:14pm bob_ham: Lloyd Cole's a great interview.
	10:15pm JakeGould: I mix him ups with Edwin Collins.
	♥ 10:15pm spacecowboy: nice horn!
	10:17pm Dave in SoDak: Lloyd Cole is a great songwriter.
	10:18pm javakid: Lloyd is one of my all-time favs. got the chance to play some pool w/ him in his drinkin' days in Soho at Milady's.
	♥ 10:20pm efd: had him on the show back in 2014 or so, he played a few songs live in the studio on an acoustic guitar. It was kind of mind-blowing.
	♥ 10:20pm Alex of Chicago: Covering your own band.
	♥ 10:20pm efd: I'll allow it
	10:20pm Jacki: You'll be interviewing Rick Astley next week...together forever..I'll be waiting...
	♥ 10:23pm efd: haha!
	10:32pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. Thanks for playing my favorite cockney pub rockers.
	10:33pm bob_ham: Classic tune this.
	10:38pm bob_ham: Well, dang...glad I caught the Upper Crust when they played here in Portland a while back.
	10:39pm Bobby Jay: I know someone at a local college radio station...and every week he puts Slade music up against The Sweet...he announces it like a wrestling match...wig wam bam...
	10:48pm Carmichael: I have a band called the Rock Lobsters who do a version of Stairway to Heaven that sounds a lot like this.
	♥ 10:55pm efd: @Carmichael I'm intrigued!
	10:57pm Frenchpoodle: My dogs theme music when walking...put your leg up...
	11:01pm yippie: I thought shut up weirdo was about to come on
	11:10pm devvo: boris, nice
	11:11pm devvo: I'd call for that if i wasn't international.
	11:12pm yippie: its the international date line
	♥ 11:13pm efd: phones lit up for that one, not surprisingly! Congrats to our winner and condolences to the also-rans.
	11:14pm choggie: Howsabout some of thos Atomic Bitchwaxers EFD??
	11:15pm Carmichael: So you can date internationally? I’m calling!

	11:42pm Layet Johnson: Evan, your show is SO amazing tonight. I’m drawing late in my studio tonight and loving every second of your picks.

	♥ 11:55pm Hoboken Jack: So glad Wildhoney is back! And I think they left Baltimore?
	♥ 11:56pm efd: oh, not sure! Agreed on Sparks, Aitch.
	♥ 11:57pm Hoboken Jack: Bandcamp says they moved to the west coast
	11:57pm DouglasInDallas: That WildHoney sounds like Cocteau Twins plus drum machine
	11:59pm Carmichael: Cocteau Twins +drum machine = Fine Young Cannibals.
